Kiir reappoints Riek Machar as Vice President

Описание: We begin the hour in South Sudan, where President Salva Kiir has re-appointed his rival Riek Machar as 1st vice president. This is a culmination of a deal to try to end months of civil war in the world's newest nation. The announcement returned the presidency to where it was soon before fighting erupted between supporters of the two men in December 2013 - a conflict that went on to kill thousands of people and force more than two million to flee. Both sides, under international pressure, signed an initial pact in August, and agreed to share out ministerial positions.
